How could I resist a yoga studio with such a delightful and clever pun for a name!…read more I discovered Heading Om during my week visiting Peoria, IL for work. I was able to attend two practices with Tammy. The first thing I thought when I pulled up was what a beautiful location they have for their studio! A historic old building surrounded by lush green lawns is the perfect atmosphere for a peaceful practice. Once inside, the scents of candles and essential oils instantly have a calming effect preparing any yogi for a great practice. Tammy was great! I am not very yoga savvy and she was so patient and helpful. Heading Om provides mats and props and each session is only 13 dollars! It's a great price for a great practice. If I ever find myself in Peoria again, I'll be "Heading Om."

Practicing there has completely entranced me with yoga for the great mental and physical benefits. Not to mention the wonderful staff and the great atmosphere. Classes are small so you get plenty of hands on instruction and all props and mats are provided. All you need to bring is yourself. During my pregnancy, Tammy always gave me variations to make practice more comfortable and safe which really meant a lot to me. Now they have prenatal yoga classes available too! They also offer Thai yoga but I haven't done one of those yet. The teachers are very warm and welcoming and you can tell that they love what they do.

I have been taking classes here and with these instructors (through an earlier iteration of the studio) for a year now, and I am so happy with my experience overall. Pilates and yoga mat classes tend to have 3-12 people in them, and equipment classes are limited to 3-4, so (and especially if you ask) you will get a lot of personalized attention to your form. You will also get to know people in your classes and, in general, it is a great group of clients, in every category of age and fitness/shape, who will swear right through the hard stuff with you. While most of the clients seem to be women, there are a few men, so guys shouldn't feel out of place at all. Highly recommended, and walkable (right on the trial!) if you live anyplace in between ISU and IWU.

Speaking of their website,…read moreit's a great tool to research ahead of time which yoga session (they offer 6 different genres) to choose on their home page with a full description of each category. If you are new to this location, make sure you take the time to fill out a registration form so you are all check-ed in. Clean mats, and weights for Iron Yoga, are provided so no big deal if you forget to bring your own. Hot yoga is this place's forté, as a majority of the classes offered include the cranked-up heat. The space is intimate and has a capacity limit of approximately 35-40 people, which leads back to my point of reserving online before dropping by. [Bonus: Cat employees enjoy a discount with a flash of the badge!] I went a few weeks ago for Iron Yoga and as I reflect on my experience, I can say with confidence that it was worthwhile and effective. Mallory delivered clear leadership and provided guidance on posture with excellent direction. The heat added to this session gave an extra oomph that regular weight-training lacked, but be sure to hydrate ahead of time and afterwards. My limbs were very sore the next day, leaving me feeling gratified. I highly recommend Yoga Projekt. Trust.
